Wondering if Hyperic agents can be installed on and monitor VMware appliances like: vCSA, vROPs, Log Insight, vRA?
If so, is there a KB or article describing this? I found this blog article and it seems to indicate that Hyperic can monitor vRA but is state Hyperic agent install is out of scope of article:
Thanks,

Should be hyperic vRA plugin and vRA management pack for vROPs in Solution Exchange.
So installing that plugin and management pack will configure a Hyperic Agent on the vRA appliances?
-MattG
Yes,
You should install agent on vRA components, configure all auto-discovered resources (e.g. vRA Proxy Agent, vRA IAAS etc.), and install vRA MP in vROPs.
In vROPs you'll find vRA dashboard and traversal spec.
Can you point me to recommendations on installing Hyperic on VMware virtual appliances?
Is it as simple as treating the appliance as a Linux VM during installation? Can vSphere be used to deploy Hyperic to a VMware appliance like vRA (non-IAAS)?
Thanks,
-MattG
There is no special recommendation, just install agent on ALL vRA's components, and make sure that agent's user have permission connect to vRA components.
Would you do the same thing for the vCenter appliance? Are there any
appliances that it should be used on?

vCenter MP in progress. i don't have any estimation time.
Is a MP necessary or helpful? If I install the Hyperic agent then it
should gather non-app (vCenter) specific data like CPU, Mem, Disk, correct?

If you want to see application's relationships, dashboards, traversal specs MP is necessary, for metrics like in hyperic you don't needed.
